Configuring Disk-File Control
CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN
Specifies how to search diskfile patterns.
OFF
specifies that no pattern searches will occur.
FIRST
specifies that pattern searching will occur first, if and only if the result is
NORECORD then the normal search for a protection record will occur.
LAST
specify that pattern searching will occur after the normal search if and only if
the normal search result is NORECORD.
ONLY
specifies that only pattern searching will occur. That is, normal non-pattern
searching will not be performed even if the pattern search returns
NORECORD.
MID
Specifies that pattern based protection records will be searched:
•
After the diskfile protection record search returns NORECORD when
Direction-Diskfile is set to Filename-First.
•
Before the diskfile protection record search, when the Direction-Diskfile is
set to VOLUME-FIRST, and the VOLUME and SUBVOLUME protection
record search returns NORECORD.
To change any of these values, issue the ALTER SAFEGUARD command from
SAFECOM. For example, to check access control lists at the volume, subvolume, and
disk file levels, issue this command:
=ALTER SAFEGUARD, CHECK-DISKFILE ON, CHECK-VOLUME ON, &
=CHECK-SUBVOLUME ON
Note. The MID option is supported only on systems running J06.08 and later J-series
RVUs and H06.19 and later H-series RVUs.
Caution. Any user can add a diskfile-pattern to the database and thereby is able to control file
access across an entire volume. If the CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN FIRST/LAST/ONLY
configuration is needed, use the ADD OBJECTTYPE DISKFILE-PATTERN command to
specify who can control diskfile-patterns. For more information, see Section 5, OBJECTTYPE
Control.
